Selecting the transducer
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and SCR (Semi Conductor Rectifier) output
waveforms are rough approximations of a sine wave. There are numerous spikes
and dips in each cycle. AKR transducers use a mathematical algorithm called
“True RMS,” which integrates the actual waveform over time. True RMS is the only
way to accurately measure distorted AC waveforms. Select AKR transducers for
nonlinear loads or in “noisy” power environments.
IPN = 2..200A
Features
• VFD and SCR waveforms current
measurement
• True RMS responding
• 4-20 mA Current output
• Loop powered transducers
• Panel mounting
• Accurate
• Jumper selectable ranges
Advantages
• Large aperture
• High isolation between primary and
secondary circuits

Applications
• VFD Controlled Loads:
VFD output indicates how the motor
and attached load are operating.
• SCR Controlled Loads:
Acurate measurement of phase
angle fired or burst fired (time
proportioned) SCRs.
• Switching Power Supplies and
Electronic Ballasts:
True RMS sensing is the most
accurate way to measure power
supply or ballast input power.
